"Chief of Staff Lin had called Inspector Song in for a talk, so we didn't go in to disturb him. After Inspector Song finished speaking, he came out and told us that Chief of Staff Lin was a little tired and wanted to rest!"

There wasn't anything else going on at the time, so we didn't think much of it. It wasn't until half an hour later, when Inspector Wang went in to report to the Chief of Staff, that he discovered the Chief of Staff had already…

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded flustered and choked with sobs as it briefly explained the situation to Hu Yue.

Chief Lin is a very good leader, and he is quite kind and gentle to everyone in the Special Case Team. So it is perfectly normal for everyone to feel sad and guilty now that something like this has happened to him.

However, there's no way to blame the colleagues at headquarters for this.

After all, no one expected Song Ke to be so ruthless as to poison Chief Lin! Everything seemed normal when he went in to report, and there was nothing wrong when he left!

Who would doubt such a colleague and comrade-in-arms who was once always by their side, someone they could entrust their back to and fight alongside?!

But now, they have been stabbed in the back by such a comrade-in-arms without any mercy!

"Okay, I understand, I'll be right back!" Hu Yue knew that pursuing the responsibility for dereliction of duty at this point was pointless. After thinking for a moment, she decisively instructed her colleagues on the other end of the phone: "You guys take control of the scene first, and don't touch anything inside without permission!"

By the way, issue a warrant for the arrest of Song Ke at all costs!

After hanging up the phone, Hu Yue composed herself before looking up at Song Mengmeng and Yao Anna with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, I probably can't have breakfast with you here!"

Something's happened to the special task force. Chief Lin has been murdered. Based on the current situation, the murderer is very likely Song Ke!

I need to go back and check.

“Okay. Be careful, call me if anything happens!” Song Mengmeng nodded, not stopping her decision. But after thinking for a moment, the girl still felt a little uneasy and reminded Hu Yue, who had gone to change clothes, “Song Ke is a member of the Xuanmen sect and has worked in the Special Cases Unit for so long! He knows your Special Cases Unit and the Xuanmen sect’s ways of doing things very well!”

If you fight him, you'd better be extra careful!

He's been driven to the brink, fighting like a cornered beast, and he's much more reckless than you all!

"No matter what, I must catch him and bring him to justice!" Hu Yue's face was not good, and she said these words almost through gritted teeth.

Since she joined the special task force, Chief Lin has been her superior.

Previously, she was an investigator, and Chief Inspector Lin was the head of their team; later, Chief Inspector Lin was promoted to Chief, in charge of the entire Special Cases Unit, and she became an inspector, still under Chief Inspector Lin's command.

Chief of Staff Lin is somewhat easygoing and a bit of a nice guy, but these flaws don't overshadow his merits and can't change the fact that he is a good person and a good leader!

But now, this person has died at Song Ke's hands!

In truth, Chief of Staff Lin trusted and valued Song Ke greatly. On several occasions, when Song Ke violated regulations or engaged in irregularities during investigations, it was Chief of Staff Lin who found ways to cover it up for him!

But……

Actually, she had reported Song Ke's problems to Chief of Staff Lin long ago, but Chief of Staff Lin didn't believe her! He even gave her a very serious reprimand, telling her not to damage the trust and relationship between colleagues like that…

If, if she had reminded her colleagues at headquarters earlier to be more wary of Song Ke, would Chief of Staff Lin not have been... murdered today?!

"You don't need to blame yourself, this matter has nothing to do with you! Even if you had explained it clearly to your colleagues and Chief of Staff Lin back then, they still wouldn't have believed you!"

After all, Song Ke was previously a highly capable inspector in your special case team! He was also a Xuanmen master, valued by the leadership!

As if she had guessed that Hu Yue would feel guilty, Song Mengmeng came over to see her out, but still whispered to Hu Yue, "Song Ke hid it too well. If you had said too much or too obviously back then, people would have thought that you had a prejudice against Song Ke and wanted to slander him and ruin his future!"

You've done your best in this matter, but you couldn't prevent this tragedy from happening. It's simply fate! You don't need to think too much about it!

"Thank you, Mengmeng. I didn't think too much about it. I'm just a little sad that something like this happened to Chief Lin!"

"Since I joined the Special Case Unit, Chief Lin has helped me a great deal. Now that he has been murdered, the only thing I can do now is to do my utmost to find out the truth, catch the murderer who killed him, so that he can rest in peace, and bring the murderer to justice and receive the punishment and retribution he deserves!"

Hu Yue lowered her eyes, walked over and hugged Song Mengmeng who was standing in front of her, then straightened up, took a deep breath, and the confusion and depression that had been on her body were now replaced by determination and courage!

She was a warrior about to go into battle. At this moment, she undoubtedly felt the most straightforward encouragement and praise from Song Mengmeng, which enabled her to sweep away the bad luck from before and charge forward again for the truth!

After seeing Hu Yue off, Song Mengmeng turned around and met Yao Anna's gaze, who looked worried.

Yao Anna didn't fully understand what Hu Yue and Song Mengmeng's other identities were, but she chose to believe the young girl in front of her.

She didn't ask too many questions, but that didn't stop her from worrying about Song Mengmeng.

"If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll be fine here by myself." Yao Anna smiled and pointed to the script book next to her. "I'll just use it to memorize my lines. Besides, my new assistant will be here soon, and she can keep me company. I'll be fine!"

“Then I’ll leave Yuanyuan here with you.” Song Mengmeng thought for a moment, but she was still a little worried. She took out a small panda plush toy, walked over and put it in Yao Anna’s arms, and earnestly instructed her, “Remember, as long as I’m not around, you have to take Yuanyuan with you. No matter where you go, you can’t let her leave your side!”

“Okay.” Although Yao Anna didn’t understand why Song Mengmeng insisted that she bring such a cute little panda, about the size of two palms, with her, the habit she had developed from spending so much time with Song Mengmeng made her choose to unconditionally trust her arrangement. She reached out and hugged the soft panda plushie to her chest, then looked at Song Mengmeng and smiled, “You go ahead and get busy. When you’re done, let’s go to Xijing together to relax!”
